Does the white stay white? White on a backpacking/hiking pack seems very stupid to me. Is it easy(ish) to clean?

Its actually more of a grey. Its not especially a dirt magnet and cleans fairly well.

The light part is grey and we took it on a couple planes, traine, through the city twice, and on a week long camping trip. Never had a problem with dirt, maybe because of the material.

I was curious to see if mine was also dirty. It was. I couldn't remove the white plastic front, but I blew into the wider opening and it seemed to get rid of just about all of the dust inside. Now I am keeping mine in a ziploc sandwich bag to prevent the build up of dust.

Yes, the blue held up really well. I was backpacking for three months shoving the back under bunkbeds at hostels and you could hardly see any marks. The grey reenforcement at the corners showed a little ware after coming off the luggage hold on the plane. I really liked this bag and the versatility it offers.

It has never turned white when I've pinched or folded it. I didn't fold it over on itself - that would be very hard to do.

Ours is the color fossil and I expect is far more dirt forgiving than white. Like white a lot but would not have one for outdoor activities that magnetize HATS to DIRT. The fossil color is far more forgiving in less than hygienic activities; boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking etc. the style and hat itself is terrific.

I have used it with a few different hiking packs and have never had an issue with it coming off.

We had two of these in operation all summer. When I emptied them (very nasty job - see my other answer) I lost one of the white tops. We did not notice any difference in effectiveness with or without the white top. They worked on many species in Utah. As amazingly effective as they are disgusting.

I didn't try, but the backpack materials are easy to clean with ordinary water. I did wash mine with no adding washing powder.

Yes the white around the sides do get a little dirty, I use a target brand baby wipe to wipe it down then its fine

I have the white which is picture here. I have three of the pots all in white, including this one. They do become stained after several months, but does not affect the flavor. I also have two of the smaller soup size which I use quite often. I don't think you will be unhappy with this set. It also comes with a small cook book which was handy in preparing rice.

The tag inside says "spot clean with water and warm detergent. Air Dry". So far (I've had ours for 5 months now), our bag has withstood rain and heavy use and the exterior is real easy to keep clean since the surface is wipeable.

Very comfy and warm. Don't know about expedition quality. I live in NW Montana and am not as active as I used to be. I like the half zipper. The first time I washed mine it literally stank like crap. Had to soak it in white vinegar for a while and then washed it and no problems. Can throw it in the dryer on low, too. Have fun on the trip! Sorry I can't be more help.

I teach Group Fitness everyday. I sweat a ton in every class & I wear the white Polar for everyday wear as well. Dirt doesn't adhere to it & it still looks like the same white as when I bought it. Would DEF buy white again-love it!

It will definitely be a good option for a backpacking trip ! It is very light and easy to clean

I've had mine for about a month and use it daily at work. I haven't experienced the white sections getting dirty or scratched so far. Cleaning it is pretty easy since the bottle is pretty modular. Biggest obstacle with cleaning is getting in the glass portion since it is too narrow for most hands.

I've had mine since April and think they are great. Although they are white, I've had no issue with staining, which was something that concerned me when I first got them. I also haven't had any issues with scratching, but I'm very careful not to use metal utensils with them, and I don't stack them directly on top of each other. I just put thin towels between them for storage. Overall, I'm very pleased with this set and would recommend purchasing them.

its been just a couple of weeks, but I got a white one and it is still clean. i dont think dirt sticks to it because of the material it is made up of, even if it does it is easy to wipe off.
